Join our hosts for Monday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Digital Tots: Impact of screen time for under 5s’ and 'Alhamdolilah: All praise belongs to Allah'.

Digital Tots: Impact of screen time for under 5s

The government is advising that children under the age of five should be limited on screen time, with under 2s not being allowed any. Join us as we discuss children’s development as well as the importance of balance and how Islamic teachings guide parents in raising healthy, mindful children in a digital age.

Alhamdulillah: All praise belongs to Allah

Alhamdulilah -a phrase heard across the world every single day, but its meaning goes far beyond simple words. It is an expression of gratitude, humility, and deep faith and emphasises that all blessings, big or small, come from Allah. Join us today as we explore the deeper meaning of this word and reflect on how much it truly impacts individuals on a daily basis.

Title: Safeguarding Her Mind: Securing our Peace

Synopsis: In this episode of Pathway to Peace, the presenters explore the vital link between women’s mental health and the stability of society. From girlhood to womanhood and beyond, we examine the emotional, physical, and social pressures women face today, alongside the gaps in modern care. Drawing on Islamic teachings, the discussion highlights the responsibility of families and communities to nurture, support, and value women at every stage of life. Ultimately, the programme examines the fact that when women are cared for with compassion and dignity, stronger families are built and lasting societal peace becomes possible.

Join our hosts for Thursday’s show where we will be discussing: ‘Media

Literacy’ and 'Need for the Promised Messiah (as)'

Media literacy

What if the same message could mean completely different things to different people? Why do we so often misunderstand each other online and how much of that comes from how we interpret what we see? Join us as we explore media literacy and how personal biases, tone, and lack of context shape the way we understand information on the internet, often leading to conflict, misinformation, and unnecessary assumptions.

Need for the Promised Messiah (as)

Opponents of the Promised Messiah, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as), argue that his claim came before its time when the world did not yet need a reformer.

Join us as we explore whether the late 19th century was, in fact, an extraordinary age. A time when nearly every major religion awaited a divinely appointed saviour, when moral and spiritual decline was widespread, and when the signs foretold in the Holy Quran and the prophecies of the Holy Prophet (saw) were becoming manifest.

Was this truly the moment history had been waiting for?
